Get the skills towards a career in Personal Support Worker

Personal Support Worker Diploma Program

The Personal Support Worker program was developed as part of the Ontario Government’s initiative to reform long-term care and community support services. These services are provided to people in long-term care facilities, group homes and those living at home in the community. It is a single training program that replaced and consolidates Health Care Aid and Home Support Worker (Levels I, II and III). This program standardizes training and provides a solid educational base for workers who provide long-term care and support services in both institutional and community settings.

Trillium College’s Personal Support Worker (PSW) certificate program is aligned with the National Association of Career College’s (NACC) curriculum program, which was developed as part of the Government of Ontario’s initiative to reform long-term care and community support services, gives you the solid theoretical knowledge and hands-on training to provide support services in both institutional and community settings.

What Our Students Say About Us:

This college definitely deserves more than 5 stars. The staff here are absolutely amazing, and incredibly helpful. They offer the support you need both academically and they even help with your personal problems. I made the right choice in picking this college for my future career path of being a dental assistant. Absolutely amazing! :)

Vanessa Vieira

Trillium College truly helped me get my career on track... it is a very good place to go to school

LJohn Bishop

The class sizes are smaller so it's far easier to engage with the instructors. The cost is comparable to other colleges - actually for a 2 year diploma program the cost is identical to any other college. The student finance advisor is an absolute master at carving through any OSAP issues you may have.

Kristan Cannon

My experience with Trillium was more than AMAZING. Going back to school at 55 was a huge step to begin with...but the best step I ever took....all of the staff were amazing and my teacher was so AWESOME. The rest of the staff were right there when needed and before long they became family. Class size was good also. Because of all of these wonderful people, I was able to fulfill my dream, and am now a Personal Support Worker. I graduated December 14th with honours. So if you want an exciting and fun environment...try Trillium. Thank you to everyone that was a part of my journey.
